Summer is over and fall is now here in our neck of the woods of Western Montana. Which is, of course, the perfect season for hiking! :) I went for another hike up Little Saint Joe the other day with my younger girls and adult son. This time we weren't going to the top, but rather heading out in search of an old cabin built by the Rocky Mountaineers for winter use by backcountry skiers and snowboarders.

It was a gorgeous day to be out, and we enjoyed it tremendously!

We hiked ...

... we picked huckleberries ...

... we relaxed by a fire ...

... we admired the views from numerous rock outcroppings ...

... we snacked by a small mountain stream ...

... we hiked before, after, and in between all of that ...

... and we found the cabin.

Mission accomplished. We found the old cabin on Little Saint Joe.

Searching for the cabin. The directions and description we were given were a little unclear.

Beautiful views from one of the many rock outcroppings.

Bass Creek Crags as seen from Little Saint Joe.

Picking huckleberries.

Ledges like these are great for views. (Yes, that's me!)

Campfire cooking for lunch.

So many trees!

Many people I talk with are fascinated with the life that I live in Montana (as I am)... so I thought I'd share a bit of my life here for those of you that are interested. I will mostly post about some of my adventures in the mountains, as well as some of my insight and inspiration of living my simple life in Montana. You are welcome to comment on my posts and share your thoughts with me along the way. So sit back with your cup of coffee or cocoa and come along on some of my journeys. :)
